Are there such things as moral, rights and an inner sense of justice? Do they origin from God or are they something given by nature? If there are such things, should they be a part of the legal system? This essay has drawn its inspiration from this kind of thoughts and how they have been handled through history. The structure of the essay is two-folded. Part one is a historical review of the eme

The Roma people’s isolation has been a major concern for the population in Europe for many years. Programs and legal frameworks are created for the protection for this underprivileged group; however the isolation continues to exist. The purpose of this paper is to explain why many of the measures taken are shown to be inadequate. The outlining and the examination of the history in this matter will

Abstrakt Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Albanien har gått från en planekonomi till marknadsekonomi och vilka tillväxteffekter detta har haft. För att undersöka hur transitionen till marknadsekonomi har gått till har jag främst använt mig av teorier från Gros och Steinherr (2004), där de sammanfattat vilka områden i ekonomin som behöver genomgå reformer och därmed anpassa sig till mark

Chemical Loping Combustion (CLC) is a novel combustion technology in which the exhaust gas is inherently divided into oxygen depleted air in one stream and CO2 and water vapour in another. This is however under the ideal condition that the fuel conversion is complete, i.e. all the hydrocarbons in the fuel is transformed to heat, water vapour and CO2. The CO2 capture rate can under such ideal condi

The aim of this study is to understand whether globalization has any effects on modern democracy and if so to see whether it can be replaced by something else – something larger than democracy within the nation-state. The aim was also to find out whether a cosmopolitan democracy is possible among nation-states with the help of cosmopolitan theory. In order to receive this information the author ha

Medierna spelar en viktig roll i hur vi formar våra värderingar och uppfattningar om omvärlden. Mediernas sätt att framställa ett fenomen är i hög grad avgörande för vårt sätt att förstå det. Främlingsfientlighet och rasism är ämnen som har fått stor betydelse på senare tid då extremhögern har varit på frammarsch runt om i Europa. Det är därför viktigt att studera vilken roll medierna har i detta

Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl

Background: Dementia is a global public health challenge, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) being the most prevalent subtypes. Air pollution is a potential risk factor for dementia, but few studies separate AD and VaD. Objective: This study aims to investigate whether exposure to air pollution is associated with the incidence of AD and VaD. Methods: This study involved 30,2

Nanowires have an ideal shape for high-resolution imaging, with a small cross-section for high resolution and a long length for strong absorption. However, since the absorption in nanowires is dominated by nanophotonic effects, it is unclear what resolution and efficiency such devices could offer. Here, we investigate the limits of spatial resolution and efficiency of nanowire-based direct detecto

The structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are malleable to solution conditions. Considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the effects of molecular crowding on these properties. Polymer-based crowders, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Ficoll®, are commonly used to simulate the intracellular environment by replicating the high concentration of macromolec

Phage collections are essential tools for discovering and dissecting bacterial anti-phage defense systems. Here, we report the isolation, characterization, and annotated genome sequences of five environmental Escherichia coli-infecting phages, obtained during the 2023 Fundamentals of Basic and Applied Phage Biology course at Lund University. The phages were isolated using a motile E. coli K-12 BW2

Bakgrund: God kommunikativ och empatisk förmåga hos läkare skapar trygghet och upplevs som professionellt av patienter och närstående. Forskning visar att empati förbättrar patienters följsamhet, nöjdhet och relationen mellan läkare och patient, vilket i sin tur leder till högre vårdkvalitet, bättre behandlingsresultat och minskade vårdkostnader. Ett empatiskt förhållningssätt främjar både fysisk

Background Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. Survival is generally considered favourable, yet some patients remain at risk of early death. We aimed to assess whether comprehensive whole-genome sequencing (WGS) linked to mortality data could add prognostic value to existing clinical measures and identify patients who might respond to targeted therapeutics. Methods In t

There is a positive association between bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between the timing of SBSEC bacteraemia and CRC is not well-established. Associations with other gastrointestinal cancers have also been suggested. Using national registries, we retrospectively examined the incidence of CRC and ot

Introduction: There is no recommendation regarding the optimal prime solution for the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit in adult cardiac surgery. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, mannitol has frequently been added to the prime solution with intention to prevent acute kidney injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of mannitol in cardiopulmonary bypass circuit prime in patie
